The printed Madison County plat book and the online parcel map answer the same question, who owns the land near Wampsville, in different ways. This guide covers finding a printed edition for Madison County, New York, and using the free parcel map in the meantime.
How to use the Madison County plat book
Private publishers compile plat books from county records, so a county edition is a snapshot of who owned land near Fenner the year it was printed. Don't confuse it with a subdivision plat on file for lots in Cazenovia; that recorded plat is a legal document, while the atlas is a reference.
Search Madison County parcels by owner, address or ID
The county's own public map is the Madison County Beacon site, built on Schneider Geospatial's Beacon platform, and it opens without an account for parcels in Wampsville and the rest of the county. In the county version, the search page takes an owner, an address or a parcel ID, and each report links back to the map view for the tract near Wampsville. Bookmark our Madison County page too; it tracks the official New York link if it moves and lists the maps around Wampsville.
Current and older editions
Private publishers have printed plat books for many rural counties, but editions for Madison County come and go; check at the courthouse, the extension office or a farm supply store in Fenner. Collectors and genealogists prize old Madison County atlases since they display farm names and owners near West Edmeston long before online maps.
Reading a Madison County atlas page
Plat book pages for Madison County most commonly include an index of owners, so you can track down a family name near Eaton without knowing the township. Acreage printed in a county atlas is rough; the deed and a survey decide the real figure for a tract near Eaton. If you use a plat book for hunting permission near Wampsville, recheck the titleholder on the county map first.
Making your own atlas of Madison County
Comparing two Madison County editions side by side shows when a farm near Georgetown was split or sold. If you cannot track down a printed edition, a screenshot of each township from the county map works as a decent homemade atlas for the area around Eaton.
